Time Comey News Today

Justice department for many years. youre in private practice now. i wonder what you think about this. let me just give you a little bit from the report. the ig saying comey provided a separate copy of memo four to rickman who was one of comeys attorneys and also a close personal friend. rickman all served as a special government employee at the fbi during a portion of the time comey was fbi director. comey instructed richman to share the contents of the memo but not the memo itself with a specif...

Behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of russian -- russia against american interests. thats according to former law enforcement officials and others in the investigation. take a look at that one more time. the fbi was not worried that trump was colluding with the russians. they were worried he might be working for russia against the u.s. either unknowingly or even on purpose. around the time comey was fired in may of 2017, two events prompted them to launc...

Were going there to say, hey, maybe there is a disconnect between the way the fbi handled her, but look at what theyre doing to this president. i think at the end of the day, jessica, its purely political and i think its the republicans attempting to smack for the very last time comey, perhaps to get him into other inconsistencies as he testifies further, but i think it really was without basis. >> joey, i know you kind of alluded to this, but do you agree with that assessment from comey that yo...

>> or if theres a camera pointed at us, maybe there are far too many members of congress willing to read any teleprompter words if it means the camera light is on. either way, thats humor. its ironic humor that is indicative of sacha baron cohen style, though i think that sometimes he goes far over the line. he has created some funny moments on television and i got a good laugh out of it. >> martha: he has created some funny moments. i would agree with you there. sarah palin is definitely not la...

Think about it, remember the time comey shared the dossier with the top leaders on the hill? he said, this isnt part of our investigation, but his corollary information you ought to get from us rather than getting from a bootleg copy or somewhere. it clearly was not the triggering mechanism. it was an associative thing that he thought he ought to get in the hands of the politicians on the hill. but yet now theyre saying, oh, no, this is sort of the original sin here. your thoughts? why are they ...

Me and its more political than anything else is something nia was touching on before which is senator reed of rhode island reading back to sessions, quotes that he had stated at the time comey made the mistakes he now says were catastrophic in terms of the hillary clinton investigation and at that time, as nia points out, at that time comey was -- i mean, sessions was not critical at all of comey. in fact, he was complimentary of comey, so, you know, what reed -- what senator reed was doing is r...

American people yesterday. the memo which he leaked had no top secret information in it. in fact, every time comey was asked yesterday in the senate committee about top secret information, he said that he could not answer those questions until he got behind closed doors. and, so, this is the distinction that people have to understand. if the information was classified, if it was top secret, comey did not speak to the senate about it. so the information in which he gave to his friend was not top ...

Created by the fbis russia investigation. >> it also confirms president trump demanded loyalty, and it contradicts the presidents claim he never asked comey to back off his investigation of former national security adviser michael flynn. comeys statement does support the presidents claim that comey assured him he was not personally under investigation. >> comey says the president brought that subject up over the course of multiple conversations. today marks the first time comey has testified pub...

Fbi. and that didnt stop that decision. but at the same time comey was somebody a lot of us had been calling for the resignation or firing for a year now on both sides of the aisle. so theres a little more substance to that. its a little different with attorney general sessions where presumably the only reason he might offer a resignation is if he didnt feel he could be left free to do the job where hes independent of the president to do it independently. who knows when well know that. that woul...

Far. it is just a touch before 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon here in the us about six in the evening in london. back there live as our coverage continues right there. shannon: theres also political coverage this week because former fbi james comey will testify on thursday in an open testing. russian interference is the topic. and allegations that the president tried to interfere in comeys investigation before expiring him. we are live in washington. the question is what are we going to get from thi...
